bookphenomena_micky 's review for:
Strange Sally Diamond
by Liz Nugent
dark
sad
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
I don't tend to read blurbs just before entering in and it bit me in the behind in this case.
This book has the most difficult content you can read...
It is a very well written book but the subject matter will be difficult for most people and incredibly triggering for some. I did not realise what the heck I was getting myself into and I have regrets about having the content now lurking in my head.
I thought Sally was a fantastic character. But Lindy's story broke me and made me exceptionally angry. Connor and Peter were heinous individuals and I hated where Peter's story ended.
I will aim to expunge this from my brain.
